Proof Brewing Co. is the largest brewery in Tallahassee and they are pumped to share some exciting news: cans by June!

They are currently preparing to start canning beer and if everything goes smoothly these bad boys will be hitting the Tallahassee market by June, with hope of spreading to the Panhandle.

“It’s a really big deal because it potentially doubles our production capacity,” says Owner, Byron Burroughs.

To celebrate, Proof is hosting a “can party” cookout on April 29 at the brewery, 644 McDonnell Drive. He said those who buy a six-pack can get a free “EightFive-0″ T-shirt, which is a shoutout to the brewery’s flagship American pale ale.

Proof Brewing Co. opened in 2012. It moved to the Railroad Square Art Park in 2014 and began its large-scale production. It sells six core beers: EightFive-O, Mango Wit, Guru IPA, Assassin Caterpillar, Creatures in the Dark Stout and Ghost Totem Porter. It also serves hundreds of varieties of craft beers.

Burroughs said the canned product will launch and be sold at the brewery. Once it hits the market, canned beers will be available anywhere craft beer is sold, including major retailers.

Local Brewery Serves Flavor and Innovation

Beer lovers everywhere, rejoice! GrassLands Brewing Company is setting up shop right here in Tallahassee.

With only a select number of local breweries, the opening of GrassLands will help cultivate the local craft-beer scene here in the capital city, as well as provide a new hangout for beer aficionados and college students alike.

Their slogan, “Earth First Ales,” represents their personal philosophy of environmentalism, sustainable energy and conservationism. By incorporating local and organic ingredients as often as possible, GrassLands aims to not only make good beers but make a difference while doing so.

GrassLands began with a man and a dream. That man is Gabe Grass, the president and head brewer. Grass began brewing beer in his house after receiving a brew kit as a Christmas gift.

“Every home-brewer out there gets told at one point or another that they could sell their beer and should start a brewery. Most of those who take the suggestion seriously take a look at the financial undertaking required to start a brewery and say, ‘I think I’ll keep my day job and continue home-brewing on the weekends’” Grass said. “I’m one of those crazy few on the fringe who decided to follow the dream”.

For all of those craft beer fans in the North part of the state (or the South part of Georgia and Alabama for that matter), Proof Brewing will be opening the doors of their new production facility on May 16th, 2014. Proof opened its Tennessee Street location in 2007- it currently houses a Retail Store, Modern American Pub, Pilot Brewery, Brew Lab and Tasting Room.

Their Pilot Brewery has been cranking out experimental & unique styles weekly that are only available on site. Proof has also poured some of their brews at some notable events like Savor 2014, The Florida Brewer’s Guild Beer Festival in Tampa, Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival and Brewfest Tallahassee to name a few.

The time has finally come to swing open their doors of their new facility to the public and show their new distribution facility and tasting room in the Railroad Square Art Park. The 10,000 square foot facility will open to the public at 3PM on Friday. Come out to enjoy some Proof brews, live music, food trucks and more! MoBi will be in the house to keep your stomachs full and happy while Sway Jah Vu keeps your ears entertained.

What better way to cap off American Craft Beer Week than with the opening of your local brewery?
